One of the ways of increasing the efficiency and safety of work is the implementation of navigation systems in agricultural practice. Satellite navigation as a means of reducing the unit costs and increasing the safety can have a significant economic impact on a company when properly used. The objective of measurement was to assess the accuracy of a satellite system AutoTrack working with a correction signal SF2. Its provider specifies an accuracy of ± 5 cm for this signal type. The accuracy of machine work was compared for two scenarios, i.e. with and without satellite navigation. Further, the navigation of machines focused predominantly on AgGPS EZ-Guide Plus and AutoTrac Universal. The FMEA method was used to determine the risk of probable failures that can occur on machines while working. This work describes the individual failures that can occur on navigation systems of machines and analyses their impact on operator’s safety.

Abstract Unlike other satellite navigation systems such as GPS (Global Positioning System), the BeiDou satellite navigation system broadcasts RDSS (Radio Determination Satellite Service) and RNSS (Radio Navigation Satellite Service) signals simultaneously on its GEO (geostationary earth orbit) satellites and provides related navigation services. This paper studies the method of using the RDSS and RNSS signals of BeiDou to achieve accurate frequency and time transmission. We analyze the generation mechanism of RDSS signal and RNSS signal of BeiDou GEO satellite, establish a mathematical model of RDSS and RNSS signal frequency transfer, and derive an equation based on BeiDou’s RDSS and RNSS signals for accurate frequency and time transmission. We also verified the relevant performance of the method through computer simulation. The results show that the combination of RDSS and RNSS signals from the BeiDou satellite system provides a new solution for its application in precise time and frequency transmission. This method is different from other satellite navigation systems such as GPS and is unique to the BeiDou system, with high accuracy and low dependence on satellite orbit accuracy.

The article contains the overview of perspective satellite navigation systems for other planets and objects of Solar System. The example of this conception for the Moon is considered. The paper contains the brief overview of Moon exploration perspectives. An overview of countries’ space agencies programs on the Moon with automatic and human missions. The problem of lunar and cislunar navigation is considered, the ways of its solution are overviewed. One of the possible cases for lunar and cislunar navigation system realization is to create the satellite system similar to the Earth’s GNSS using the existing experiences. The main goal of the article is the conception of lunar receiver designed for the lunar navigation satellite system in case it is similar to GLONASS. The formulas’ simplifications because of Moon’s features are considered, including: absence of atmosphere and as a result absence of ionospheric and tropospheric delays; more simple gravity field because of small flattering (almost spherical shape). The conclusions on perspectives of the lunar navigation are made.

AbstractThis paper presents the essential issues and problems associated with GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) code differential positioning simultaneously using observations from at least two independent satellite navigation systems. To this end, two satellite navigation systems were selected: GPS (Global Positioning System, USA) and GLONASS (GLObalnaya NAvigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema, Russia). The major limitations and methods of their elimination are described, as well as the basic advantages and benefits resulting from the application of the DGNSS (Differential GNSS) positioning method. Theoretical considerations were verified with the post-processed observations gathered during a six-hour measurement. The data from selected reference stations of the ASG-EUPOS (Active Geodetic Network — EUPOS) system located at different distances from the rover site was used. The study showed that the DGNSS positioning method achieves higher accuracy and precision, and improves the stability of coordinate determination in the time domain, compared to positioning which uses only one satellite navigation system. However, it was shown that its navigational application requires further studies, especially for long distances from the reference station.

The Global Navigation Satellite System has a huge impact on both the public and private sectors, including the social-economic development, it has many applications and is an integral part of many domains. The application of the satellite navigation systems remains the most relevant in the field of transport, including land, air and maritime transport. The GLONASS system consists of three segments and the operation of the entire system depends on functioning of each component, but primarily, the accuracy of measurements depends on the basis forming of the control segment and management, responsible for forming ephemeris-time information. In the work, the influence of ephemeris-time information on the accuracy of solving the navigation problem by the signals of the GLONASS satellite navigation system has been analyzed. The influence of both ephemeris information and the frequency information, and of the time corrections has been individually studied. The accuracy of the ephemeris-time information is especially important when solving the navigation problem by highly precise positioning method. For the analysis the following scenarios of the navigation problem solving have been formed: using high-precision and broadcast ephemeris-time information, a combination of broadcast (high-precision) ephemeris-time information, and high-precision (broadcast) satellite clock offsets and two scenarios with simulation of the calculation of the relative correction to the radio signal carrier frequency. Based on the study results it has been concluded that the contribution of the frequency-time corrections to the error of location determination is of the greatest importance and a huge impact on the error location, while the errors of the ephemeris information are insignificant

Nowadays majority of navigation methods, used in unmanned flying vehicles, are based on satellite navigation systems, such as GPS or GLONASS, or are amplified with them. But hardware, that uses such systems, can’t work in difficult conditions, for example causes by relief: with insufficient number of satellites or at low satellite signal. Satellite navigation systems are vulnerable for methods of radio defense: satellite signal can be deadened or replaced. That is why such systems usage is unacceptable while critical missions during military operations, emergency or reconnaissance. The article briefly describes components used for building alternative satellite-free navigation systems for flying vehicles. For each component its purpose and brief description of working principle are given, advantages and disadvantages are considered.
